Zimbabwe and Botswana

Welcome to Zimbabwe! Meet your tour guide on arrival at Victoria Falls Airport and transfer to your accommodation. Buckle up for an exhilarating small group encounter with Victoria Falls, an untamed natural wonder that has captured the imagination of explorers and adventurers since David Livingstone declared it the most wonderful sight he had seen in Africa. Board a cruise and navigate one of Africa's mightiest rivers, cruising past islands of basking crocodile and hippo pods lazing in the waning African sun, before returning to your lodge for dinner.
Join a local tour guide on a guided tour of the world's largest waterfall. Admire the powerful curtain of water from various vantage points in Zimbabwe - feel the fine spray and hear the thunderous roar as water crashes over a hundred metres into a swirling mass in the gorge below. Spend the rest of the afternoon at leisure with the sound of the 'Smoke that Thunders' never far from your ears.
Cross the border into Botswana to Chobe Game Lodge, located right on the banks of the Chobe River in Botswana's renowned Chobe National Park, one of Africa's heavyweight safari destinations. The elephant population in Chobe is the largest single concentration in Africa and during the harsh dry season (June to October) the herds migrate in ever-increasing numbers to congregate along the fertile floodplains and in the forests of the Chobe River. It's also a great destination for lion, buffalo, hippo and crocodile, and the bird watching ranks as some of the best in Southern Africa. Keep an eye out for rarer species such as wild dog, sable and roan antelope on your morning and afternoon game drives, and make sure you go on a water activity - small motorboats are used for game viewing while a sunset cruise on a large riverboat is one of Chobe's quintessential experiences.
Today you will transfer by scheduled air charter to the Savute region of the Chobe National Park where you will be met and transferred to Savute Safari Lodge. Here you'll enjoy early morning and late afternoon game drives with expert guides. Savute, located in the wild and remote central part of Chobe, has a high density of predators - and not least lions and spotted hyenas, two species that are often in conflict with each other over kills. There are also leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs and black-backed jackals to search for as well as the full range of classic savannah animals - elephants, antelope of many species, giraffe, zebra and great birding. Indeed, the now-flowing Savute Channel delivers some of the best game viewing in the country.
Next is to Moremi, where you will be staying in either Camp Okavango or Camp Moremi, two excellent lodges offering superb game viewing activities. Camp Okavango is more of a water-based camp and offers year-round boating, canoeing and walking safaris whereas Camp Moremi focuses more on game drives in a very rewarding part of the Moremi Game Reserve. The bird watching is amazing at both camps and you'll have plenty of time to absorb the beauty of this iconic destination.
This morning, you will be transferred to Botswana's Maun Airport for your ride back home
